Vrat (fasting) is one of the gentlest yet most powerful Lal Kitab remedies. Each weekday belongs to a planet — fasting on its day strengthens that planet's blessings while purifying its afflictions.

Day-planet correspondence

  • Sunday: Sun. Skip salt, eat once after sunset.
  • Monday: Moon. Milk-only, white food.
  • Tuesday: Mars. Sweet things, no salt.
  • Wednesday: Mercury. Green vegetables only.
  • Thursday: Jupiter. Yellow food, ghee only.
  • Friday: Venus. White food, sweets.
  • Saturday: Saturn. Black sesame, mustard oil avoided.

How long

  • Single-day vrat for general support.
  • 7 weeks for steady remedy.
  • 40-43 day cycle for deep affliction.

Cautions

  • Don't fast if pregnant, ill, or under medical treatment.
  • Break fast with the planet's favourite food, not random.
  • Pair with the matching donation for amplified effect.
